It’s never stated outright in the Illiad, but it was a popular ‘ship for later Hellenic writers, with just as much contention then and modern ‘shippers encounter.

I truly would love to hear from you and read more on this subject. Shawn

They are full of “Man X, son of Man Y who is famous for Z reason :fights: Man A who is famous for B reason and is son of Man C.”

@Jeb, I think that is a male being grasped in the center. It’s a bit too muscular to be a woman.

Tue, 30 Oct 2012 21:19:06 +0000http://artofmanliness.com/?p=28266#comment-279809I admire your treatment of this very important part of Greek mythology, but the illustration at the top is pretty surely not a depiction of a battle of the Trojan War. I note the Roman style SIGNUM on the right side of the picture, and the nude woman being grasped by the warrior at the center, and surmise that the event it depicts is very probably the rape (abduction) of the Sabine Women.

Yes! By all means let’s have some Norse mythology, too. Just whenever you have the time, Mr. Valdes… ;)

Tue, 30 Oct 2012 08:05:25 +0000http://artofmanliness.com/?p=28266#comment-279680There are plays, freely available thanks to Google books that intertwine and follow; Ajax, which follows his madness and suicide, The Trojan Women, which describes the fate of – well, the women of Troy – after the fall of Troy, and a tetrology beginning with Agamemnon, describing the fate of the Greek king upon his return home. All short reads, all worth while. One thing in them all that is interesting is involvement of the Gods. It is high in some, and non-existent in others. Another good read is Lysistrata, which tells the story of the women of Athens and Sparta staging a nookie strike until the men cease war. Fun stuff.
